COOKY-JAR SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Thoroughly cream the SOFTENED butter and the sugar, orange extract, and vanilla.
• NOTE: I prefer orange extract over the zest because I think it has a stronger flavor. Although zesting an orange is probably cheaper.
• Add egg; beat until fluffy, stir in the milk.
• sift the dry ingredients. (The flour, baking powder and salt.).
• Stir the dry ingredients into the wet and blend well.
• Divide the dough in half.
• Chill for 1 hour or overnight.
• After an hour or the next day, on a floured surface, roll half of the dough to 1/8 inch thick. (keep the remaining dough chilled until you are ready to roll it.).
• Cut into shapes and place them on a greased baking sheet.
• at this point you can decorate them with candy, raisins, nuts and colored sugars if you want.
• Bake at 375 degrees F for 6 to 8 minutes.
• Cool slightly and remove them from the pan.
• Enjoy!

MILLION DOLLAR SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream together the first four ingredients until smooth.
• Add baking soda and salt.
• Add flour one cup at a time and mix until well blended.
• Using a soup spoon, scoop out some dough and place it in your palm. Using both hands, roll into a ball and place on a cookie sheet, leaving room for it to spread.
• Once you have filled the sheet with balls, place 1/2 cup sugar into a little container, and dip the bottom of a drinking glass into it and use it to flatten dough balls. Flatten each ball until it is about 1/3 inch thick. Dip the glass into the sugar again after you flatten each ball.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
